Vienna Brioche Loaves image

I love brioche. These can be made ahead and frozen. Bake as instructed, let cool. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil, freeze up to 1 month. Let them thaw, covered at room temp, Reheat in foil at 35F 10-15 minutes. A great thing to have on hand "just in case". And you don't need the individual brioche pans, just regular bread pans.
